I beg to differ.

I'm aware of that option, but why force users to open another full blown GUI application, when this functionality could be easily added by a programmer in a couple of minutes?

Based on your post history you didn't strike me as a stickler for protocol who insists on doing everything by the book. Isn't adding useful features always something that adds value to a program? IMHO, simply insisting on blindly following the "pure doctrine" doesn't make much sense.

I agree that Amazon should add an automatically generated inline TOC to their Kindlegen ePub conversion code. However, given Amazon's track record when it comes to responding to customer requests, this is not very likely to happen anytime soon.
However, the current Sigil maintainer user_none is not bound by these limitations and could easily implement this feature.
